[QUOTE="Baveboi, post: 5419525, member: 99509"] I played a magus twice now, on a game a friend is runing. He's very, very versatile. You can move and cast spells and attack, you can make full round actions and cast spells and use many powers (the magus arcanas) to boot. All abilities more than make up for the lack of spell progression and even tho you won't see a fireball at level 7 or later, your casting level is still high. That gives you better uses of low level spells (shocking grasp is 5d6 at level 5 normally). That being said, I present the truth about Magus: the mechanics are not there to make combos. They are there to fulfill diferent roles and create the possibility of actions where there would be none/few. Spell Strike and Spell Combat, specifically, are made to be used separatedly at diferent situations. When you get Magus Arcanas/more spells/Spell Pool you will be able to pimp up more actions, but in a early game its basically spellcasting-hacken-slashing tiem. [/QUOTE]
